Jāņi. Summer equinox - all people got shit faced drinking bear, jump over fire (more hardcore ones walk through fire), everybody eats cheese and then they fuck in the bushes. After 9 month in the end of the March little Latvians come into world immune to alcohol poisoning, fire and sexual diseases.

6th of December, Independence day. On that day 95 years ago, the Finnish Senate accepted the declaration of independence which was made a couple of days earlier. Russians accepted the declaration about a month later. That's it.

St. Patrick's day. It commemorates the day that Roman Brit arrived on the shores of this island and darken our pagan skies, raped our goddess Éiru and set in motion the spread of catholic lies that would grip this country right up until the closing of the 20th century. Fuck St. Patrick, and fuck his holiday. Only thing it's good for is getting mighty piss ass drunk until you forget what day it actually is. It should be renamed "Worldwide alcohol appreciation day", but then again alcohol is appreciated every day here, so whatever.

>>6014757 There is no Canadian nation, only a Canadian sovereign state. There are many nations within Canada but I think only Quebec has a legally recognized national holiday. It's mostly used for Quebecois to pretend they're still relevant and drink a lot.

>>6014844 >>6014757 Basically it goes like this. June 24, Quebec is full of massive crazy street parties. A week later, the rest of Canada is full of massive street parties(the biggest being in Ottawa and Vancouver). The Quebecois remind us Canada day is a week away. Well, they did when I lived in Ottawa anyway, since it's full of both cultures.

>>6014876 Because it's a feast day that marks the martyrdom of St. George and not the birth or independence of our nation, and St. George is celebrated by other countries as well?

3 hours later 6015222 Anonymous
>>6014978 cont. If I remember my shit correctly then St. George would be a pretty stupid choice to pick to celebrate England since there isn't a lot of evidence to suggest he was born or even visited England with most pointing to him being born in Palestine. He would've also had Roman Empire nationality.
